240volt mitre saw

08-25-2009, 01:41 AM

I recently bought a second hand mitre saw that looked new.
It didn' work and I stripped down the motor and found a small suppressor coil open circuit. I took professional help and they removed the suppressor saying it was not necessary.
The saw now starts up but appears to be taking too much current because it runs for only a few seconds before blowing the 13 amp fuse.

I would appreciated any ideas on what I could try next
Many thanks
